Tried the 2012-03-25 precise daily live CD, with mixed results. 1) the unity task bar doesn't display on the live desktop. It's there, because you can e.g. guess at the location of say firefox & it launches. The ubiquity installer runs reasonably well if you dare to try it.
2) booting the resulting disk install leads to login failure with unity 3D but works OK (albeit sluggishly) with unity 2D. In 3D, the cursor is OK, and VTY switching works, as do text logins, but the nouveau+compiz video is still very corrupt - checkerboard-like patterns in shades of desktop purple. 3) the nvidia current binary driver ran OK for about 40 minutes (gnome- terminal, firefox, google chrome, libreoffice writer, totem) but died when I tried to launch Libreoffice calc. So it's getting better, but we're not quite back to the video functionality of 11.04 yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854388 Title: precise alpha 1 live CD video corruption on nvidia GeForce 6150SE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/854388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
